[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7138452, member: 63856"] We're grazing them, not cropping, but grazing them this winter increased our carrying capacity and thus our winter cashflow also doubled. Looking at it from a financial POV we spent the same amount as we would have making silage, but we redirected that into seed and buying a bit of hay in. As we don't use fertiliser, that bought-in energy makes a difference that is compounding, in much the same way overseeding pastures can. It also meant a massive decrease in tractor hours, 25 as opposed to 65 over the past 6 months. [/QUOTE]
